Anthony bro, learn how to take care of yourself. Constantly on the shelf because of injury, got the skills of a champion but I gotta say unless you can stay healthy enough to fight on a consistent basis I don't want you to have the strap.

Ricardo Lamas got robbed. He has won his last four fights, 3 by finish, 2 of those opponents were top 10 guys by the UFC rankings (5. Cub Swanson, 10. Eric Koch) and he's done all of that with in the last 2 years. Hell evem by the UFC current rankings they have Lamas ranked above Jung so what gives? Whether or not his skills match that of the Korean Zombie is questionable, a question that I hoped to have had answered at UFC 162. Guess not. Frankie would be an awesome replacement but I bet it will be Chad Mendes or Dennis Bermudes.

Well folks, hate to break it to ya but after, Aldo destroys the Zombie, and he will destroy him, he is moving on up to LW. This fight being cancelled sucks on so many levels, at least Pettis had a chance to win and would have had to defend the belt a couple times. Pettis and Aldo may meet up in a future LW bout at least, but the FW belt will be vacated and up for grabs. No Aldo? Frankie just might get the strap after all

This fight should've happened way sooner after it was first announced. I still see a good chance of this fight happening in the future, but I felt that he didn't deserve the shot anyway. Not due to his skills, but for cutting infront of Lamas/KZ/Mendes to get there.

I think the reason they gave the shot to KZ is because he's more popular than Lamas and is fan favorite. With KZ fighting for the title immedately, I think he's about to get destroyed due to his long layoff, but im hope im wrong

Might not be a popular opinion but I don't think KZ should get the title shot, I think Lamas deserves it more. KZ has already gone over a year without a fight, fighting Jose Aldo is difficult enough when you've been fighting regularly.

My day got a whole lot worse when I found out this news. For some reason, out of all the fights that we've lost over the years due to injury, this one bugs me the most. This was my most anticipated fight of the year outside of a potential Jones/Silva fight. I still think my reasoning for Pettis deserving this shot is warranted. I still don't understand why you think its crazy that a proven talent at 155 isn't worthy of a title shot at 145 where there is Jose Aldo....and everybody else not really close. Those top guys left at 145 just aren't that marketable and likely not as talented as Pettis when you look at his success in the 155 division. An extremely deep division and a win over the multi-org LW champ. That success should easily bump him ahead of those guys.

Don't worry Reck, there's a damned good chance of this fight still taking place in the future at LW, possibly for the title. I agree that if you had a problem with these two squaring off then you are clearly a "nitpicker" and like to hear yourself b----, cause this fight would have been electric. Aldo's days as a FW are more than likely over after he demolishes the zombie and at least the 145 lb division will be a toss up as far as who will become champ once Aldo is gone, which is probably after this fight.

Call me crazy but I would like to see Mendes get a rematch with his improved striking with Aldo. After all not s--- happened in the 1st rd of their fight until Mendes had the takedown until Aldo grab the fence then boom knee to the head.
